"Golden Hind" - a small English galleon, which between 1577 and 1580 years, rounded globe. It was the first ship returned from circumnavigation after Magellan karakki «Victory». The captain of the ship was Sir Francis Drake. Circumnavigation of «Golden Hind» lasted 2 years, 10 months and 11 days. Originally it was called the three-masted flagship «Pelikan». Its length was only 36.5 meters, width - 6.7 meters, cargo capacity - up to 150 tons. Galleon was equipped with 22 guns. August 20, 1578 Drake came into the Straits of Magellan. He took it very quickly, in just 20 days, but in the Pacific fleet encountered a fierce storm. Of the entire fleet was only one ship - «Pelikan». The storm had brought him far to the south, and Drake was convinced that the Tierra del Fuego extends the open sea. Therefore, on modern maps the name of Drake called wide strait that separates the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego from Antarctica.

Having made an emergency sortie to the south, Drake, as soon as the storm subsided, headed north and went to the Chilean coast. He made a daring raid along the Pacific coast, and hurled to the bottom of many Spanish ships and consistently devastated the most important harbor on the Chilean, Peruvian and Mexican banks. «Golden Hind» crossed the Pacific, came to the Philippines and the Moluccas, and, rounding the Cape of Good Hope, in September 1580 returned to England. It was the second in the history of seafaring voyage around the world. Now the English pirates were not insured by any ships of the Peruvian fleet, nor the Philippine galleons, which were delivered in Acapulco, silk and spices of the Far East. «Pelikan» was the only one of six ships of Drake, broke through the Drake Passage. At the exit to the Pacific Ocean Drake renamed it in honor of the patron saint of his court - the Lord Chancellor, Christopher Hatton, on the arms which had been shown a golden deer.
